Mr. Bojangles Endorses 2000 Year Old Man

President Bush did his best Mr. Bojangles imitation today while waiting for John McCain at the White House today to officially endorse his nomination.

If you haven't seen this embarrassment, watch:

Now, I don't know about you, but I've never seen a President, by himself, no staff around, kept waiting because someone is late. And it's amazing how bipolar this asshole is. Just shows you what a little ritalin can do.

When McCain finally showed up, he was shown up in the Rose Garden. Curious George took questions, made jokes and all Mr. Double Talk Express did was wonder why his waiter hadn't brought his soup yet, not realizing that his tardiness caused him to miss the Blue Plate Special. Bush then proceeded to pidgeonhole McCain into continuing the war in Iraq (not that McCain would actually do anything different).

If you can stomach it, watch this press conference. Bush hogs up the time, only picks on reporters that he knows will give him softball questions, actually says, "No, I'm not callin' on you. No, not you either," while scanning for a reporter named "Wolf" (about 8:15 into the video) for a final question and then insults the press gaggle as he ends the conference. What a douchebag.

Go ahead, Maverick. Accept the endorsement of a President with the lowest approval ratings in the history of the White House. Accept the endorsement of a man who campaigned against you in the nastiest way possible, smearing your family by suggesting you had an illigitimate black child... and what did you do? You sold out and marched in lockstep with the rest of the GOP off the cliff that is Iraq, off the cliff that is Hurricane Katrina. You jumped into the chasm of permament tax cuts for millionaires and no oversight on the money spent for war. Keep it up, Maverick.

By the looks of this conference, I hope he's with you every step of the way like an albatross around your neck.
